@Profepps If Scalia/Roberts/Thomas/Alito keep voting as bloc on most cases, what's practical difference? Ideologically they're the same.

@semironic rationale of cases matters tremendously. -
@Profepps That's true if judges are intellectually honest. When ideology determines result, rationale doesn't seem especially important. -
@semironic shortsighted. The words of an opinion are used by other judges for generations. They matter. Votes are not the only thing. -
@Profepps We've had 20 years of right-wing precedents- think those matter much more than dictum of originalist ravings. -
@semironic again short-sighted but potato potahto let's call the whole tweet off

@Profepps Great article, but you omitted Rehnquist as a playmaker who subtly reshaped the Court's way of analyzing cases (for the worse IMO)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
